Taking unequal equity split

[Ran91]

Hi does anyone have any experience of accepting a less than 50/50 equity split and it not be deemed ‘Capital Deprivation’?
My partner (unmarried but joint mortgage) has always contributed more financially to the home than I have. On this basis I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking a 50% share of the equity. I would be the one to leave the property. I would however need to claim benefits and understand the concept of ‘Capital Deprivation’ (I am a full time carer to our disabled son) and that DWP look unfavourably towards anyone seeming to put themselves into CD.
Is it possible and reasonable for me potentially to accept a 60/40 or even 70/30 split based upon financial contribution over the years?

Why are you taking less? He’s been depriving you of earning potential for years!

Hi OP, being on the mortgage and being on the deeds is very different.

you can be on a mortgage but NOT on the deeds. In this scenario, in theory you will be entitled to very little if not nothing.

if you are on the deeds, then it is a joint asset and would be split 50/50. If you were married, more like 70/30.

I don’t understand why you’d want any less than 50% ( assuming you are on the deeds) . He could argue as he was the financial provider and paid the majority of the mortgage and bills he should be entitled to more than 50% but this is very unlikely given you have a DC together.

Your job was looking after your DC, the difefenr is it was unpaid. You deserve 50%
